Abstract
Teaching English for ethnic minority students in remote Northwest area of Vietnam has always been a huge challenge for educators and teachers. With specific difficulties of the Northwestern region such as: the lack of basic learning facilities in rural schools; the majority of the students are ethnic minority people; students need to travel very long distances to school in small and dangerous paths in severe weather conditions and natural disasters all year round. Consequently, students lose learning motivation. This research presents some basic knowledge about motivation and indicates some key factors to motivate ethnic minority students in rural schools in the Northwest of Vietnam to study English effectively.

Summary
Ethnic minority students in the Northwest of Vietnam are defined as the people who are from different ethnic groups such as Thai, H’Mong, Tay, Nung, Dao. The lack of awareness of the crucial role of education among their parents and themselves discourages students from learning, especially with English, which has been considered one of the most difficult subjects for rural students. On the September 30th, 2008 the Prime Minister of Vietnam issued the Decision No 1400/QD-TTg on approving the plan for “Teaching and Learning Foreign Language in the National Education System in the period of 2008-2020”. Despite these efforts, the quality of teaching and learning English in disadvantaged, rural and mountainous schools still falls short of expectations. As one of the main causes of the low quality of learning English in rural schools is the lack of motivation, this research focuses on proposing some solutions to motivate ethnic minority students in the Northwest of Vietnam to study English effectively
